I have been with this company for a little over 7 years. It is now October and I have had to call them EVERY MONTH to pick up my trash from my business that is suppose to be picked up every week, since APRIL! I have been so graceful with this company but now I am losing my patience! Last week I called because my chain appears to have been cut. I PAY EXTRA FOR THEM TO LOCK MY dumpster. They were suppose to either re-lock the chain or replace it. I even told them to call me just in case they need for me to remove my lock so that they can easily change the chain. They never called. They never changed it and never locked it. I spoke with a lady last week and she gave me an issue number to refer to. I spoke with Lisa today and she claims she doesn’t see a complaint for the lock and she only sees complaints for non pick up. So they are either Liars, incompetent, or both! My representative over my account Marlyn is always very kind and tries her best but there’s only so much she can do. Overall this is the absolute worst company.

I called to start off service on 9/18 and everything ran smoothly until we have yet to receive garbage bins. They were to be brought on 9/20 the postponed it 3 days then we got into the next week which everything I called in they gave me a different day. Seems like only one representative works there on most days "Jay" who by far has the worst customer service. I did call and spoke to a Liz who did try to help but still nothing came through. We are now on week three we were supposed to get the bins sent over on priority for yesterday Monday 10/3 but when we called at the end of Monday they said Tuesday, 10/4. Called 2 times today to confirm and they said to give them until 7pm.... 7pm came and went - nothing! Honestly. The worst company I have ever had to work with (in general not just waste companies). Oh and good luck if you try to ask for a manager. They state they are never available.

Good god - STOP OUTSOURCING YOUR CALL CENTER. The people who answer - when they finally get around to it know nothing and transfer me to a voicemail or someone local.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Hi Paz, thank you for reaching out! Any type of shredded paper is considered waste for us because the fibers are cut down so small that they are not recyclable anymore at that point. Thank you!
